$AIN Follow-up: Is Albany's unchanged Q4 guide too low after a
$349.5M quarter that topped its own September range?
🏢 Albany International, which makes paper-machine belts and aerospace composites and is worth about
$1.78B at
$62.51 at 16:00 ET on October 28, 2026, reported Q3 2026 net revenue of
$349.5M and adjusted EPS of
$1.68
📈 Its September 1, 2026 8-K had held Q3 revenue guidance at
$320M–
$330M and lifted adjusted EPS guidance to
$1.40–
$1.50, so revenue landed about
$19.5M (6%) above the top of that range and EPS
$0.18 above it
⚠️ Q4 guidance stayed at
$325M–
$335M of revenue and
$0.65–
$0.75 of adjusted EPS, under half of Q3's
$1.68, but Q3 EPS included
$0.88 from the CH-53K contract renegotiation; the Q4 tax rate estimate was cut to 29.5% from 31.5%
